Ethnicity, acculturation, and physical inactivity: acomparative study between East Asian and Caucasian women in Canada
Bibliographic record
Abstract
The present study examined the association between ethnicity, acculturation and leisure-time physical inactivity among East Asian and Caucasian women in Canada using the 2000--2001 Canadian Community Health Survey. The sample consisted of 762 East Asian and 31,504 Caucasian female adults aged 25 to 64 years. Multivariate logistic regression was performed to investigate the relationships. Results of the analysis showed that East Asian women were more likely to be inactive compared to Caucasian women, although not when the level of acculturation was statistically controlled. A higher level of acculturation was significantly associated with a low prevalence of physical inactivity only among East Asian women. East Asian immigrants, particularly those staying for 10 to 19 years in Canada, were likely to be inactive compared to their non-immigrant counterparts (OR = 4.5, CI = 1.81--11.1). Health promotion programs need to pay increasing attention to the cultural orientation and barriers towards physical activity among immigrant East Asian women.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
